Ideal Philosophy
Ideal Project Group believes
that while business does in the end have to worry about the bottom
line, it shouldn’t come at the cost of our values, morality, or
humanity. And while a small business may not be able to save the
world, we believe we should do what we can, when we can.
Ideal
Project Group has committed from the day of our founding to
contribute 10% of all our profits to non-profit groups that feed the
hungry, educate our community’s youth, or protect the environment.
We have four giving periods per year, January, April, July, and
October, that correspond with the filing dates for estimated taxes.
Any reconciliation for the previous year is done in April when our
taxes are finalized.
While this in and of itself shouldn’t be a selling point, it does
help differentiate us from our competition. If you can give a hungry
person food, a child a book, or help save a rain forest simply by
doing business with us, we feel it’s worth noting.
If you are part of a non-profit that provides any of the above
services, please send us an e-mail at
philanthropy@idealprojectgroup.com and tell us about your
organization.

its impact. To learn more about the Grameen Foundation and microfinance, please visit them at
